I wanted to make sure that all my plugins would be compatible with PHP 8.3 because I didn&#8217;t want the PHP upgrade to somehow break my site.  I paid the reasonable $1 that the Compatibility Checker asked for a monthly subscription, and it noted which of my plugins were not supported. I removed them and had a successful upgrade to PHP 8.3 without breaking my site. The support folks for this plugin respond  instantly in their webchat when I had questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18979570","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18979570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18979570\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18979570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
